It's hard to say when those gold jewelry pieces bought at high prices during the Year of the Horse in the mortal world will appreciate in value, because the purchase price was so high that the difference between the purchase price and the price per gram of gold being redeemed could be four or five hundred yuan, or even more; it depends on the specific price. Merchants are optimistic about the current high gold price, while others are not.

In the first half of the Year of the Horse, the price per gram of pure gold for recycling sometimes fell below 1,000 yuan. Those that were recycled for around 1,200 yuan were relatively good, and it's estimated that the recycling price would be quite ideal throughout the Year of the Horse.

During the Year of the Snake, the author, with limited budget, split the money meant for a new smartphone into several smaller purchases, almost entirely spending it on gold jewelry. The small gold Pixiu ornaments purchased didn't appreciate in value based on buyback prices, but if a similar weight of new gold jewelry were purchased—even if it's only 0.7 grams—it would still cost over a thousand yuan, even without considering craftsmanship fees. The purchase price had increased significantly.

That small gold ring, if sold, could yield a profit of five or six hundred yuan. If the buyback price is high, it could even make a thousand yuan. Although this isn't a large sum, the fact that it's only two or three grams can increase its value shows how strong the price appreciation can be. However, I don't plan to sell that small gold ring in the Year of the Snake or the Year of the Horse; I'll either keep it long-term or exchange it for a different style. If I do sell it in the future, I hope to get more money when the buyback price is high—that's possible.
